Beauty In Its Simplicity

Photo courtesy of Paul

I've known Renna from many years ago, back to the days when both of us are still students.

Along with few other friends, we were always cramped into 22B on the weekends, doing a lot of foolish crazy things. We shared many memories of trips with the late Dr.Jugah and his family.

Oohh those were the days.

And then, life happens and most of us parted ways. Usually meeting up again during weddings.

Renna and I were the kind of friends who don't talk on a regular basis but when we do, we just pick up where we left off. Of course, as she is friends with my family, she is also a family friend.

God ~~sometimes~~ always works in a mysterious way.

Who would have thought that many years down the road from when we were just measly students, Renna would marry my brother's good friend?

The story started when my brother asked his friend/colleague, Corbin to tag along for a lunch meet up with Renna, and then they say, the rest is history.

I'm truly honoured and happy when Renna invited me to her wedding, to share in this celebration.

Everything about the wedding is just so Renna.

There is so much beauty in its simplicity, just like her. From all the years I've known her, she is someone very practical, very simple and classy.

Nothing brassy, nothing extravagant, nothing noisy, nothing over the top.

But you know what is the most beautiful thing about the wedding? (well at least to me lah).

It was the speech from the father of the bride. It was the most heartfelt wedding speech I've ever heard, so full of love and support for his daughter and new son-in-law.

It started with

"En. Corbin adalah lelaki yang sangat sangat jahat!"

Erk okay.. I was like what kind of statement is that kan.

"Sangat jahat kerana telah mencuri hati anak kesayangan saya" Awwww...

"2 kali dia minta kebenaran. Berani betul dia. Kali pertama, dia mintak kebenaran dari kakak Renna untuk berkawan dengan Renna. Kali kedua, dia datang Mukah untuk mintak kebenaran saya, untuk naik level. Honestly, very honest, this En. Corbin is so much better than me when I was at his age."

You gotta admit, that guy really has guts, manners, and respect to do what he did, of asking the girl's family permission to date and marry their daughter/sister.

That really is an honourable and respectful thing to do.

And then her father said

"En.Corbin, welcome to the family. We as parents, will not hinder your ambition (both of them wanted to pursue their studies). We will support both of you"

Beautiful isn't it?

Congratulations again to Renna and Corbin. May God bless your wonderful journey and be there every step of the way.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus. Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit. Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu.

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak?

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak? Pernah tak korang hadapi situasi macam ni. Bersenam dah all out, membanting tulang dan tenaga di gym. Dalam semangat nak lose weight tu, timbang diri setiap jam, setiap hari! Disebabkan dah berabis workout dan mengamalkan diet rumput rumpai, korang pun expect berat turun kan? Tiba-tiba bila naik atas penimbang tu, berat tak turun pun. Maintain je. Kadang-kadang lagi teruk. BERAT NAIK PULAK!! Bila terjadi perkara macam ni, korang pun berjalan perlahan-lahan ke sudut bilik, dan mengerekot di dalam bilik yang gelap sambil mengenang nasib. Sangat mematahkan semangat, berkecamuk jiwa dan raga. I know. I've been there. CPPS pun pernah mengalami perkara yang sama Workout dah betul, diet pula calorie deficit. You have done everything right but your weight INCREASED! Rasa nak putus asa dan minum racun rumpai. Kemudian ahli keluarga, PT atau kakak cleaner gym dengan penuh rasa kasihan cuba memujuk. "Hey! don't worry. You are gainin...

In case you have not read the part 1, click HERE . So on the 3rd day we went island hopping to Phi Phi Island where the movie "The Beach" featuring Leonardo Dicaprio was filmed. Bought the package while wandering around Patong Beach but you can get these island hopping packages anywhere in Phuket. Like many other things in Phuket, you have to bargain. We got our package for 1050 Baht/pax which included transport to and fro hotel, lunch and refreshments, snorkeling equipment and covers Maya Bay (where the filming was), Loh Samah Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach and Khai Nok Island. We only stop and got down the boat at Maya Bay, another lagoon i don't know what's the name for snorkeling, Phi Phi Don for lunch and Khai Nok Island. They picked us up at 7.45am from the hotel and all of us gathered in a place for a briefing. There were 3 boats that day for all of us, then departed to the jetty which was about 1...

Guide To First Dates For Dummies

Guide To First Dates For Dummies While I'm not exactly an expert in relationships, first dates, and stuff, I've had a few learning experiences and a panel of consultants. I feel the need to share with you, especially guys, a few do's and don'ts of a first date. Basically to give you some idea of what girls expect on a first date and to save you from embarrassment and disappointments from not securing a second date. 1. Dress To Impress DO NOT underestimate the power of dressing. You only have one chance at making a good first impression. You don't have to wear something expensive or trendy. Just something tidy, presentable, smart, or casual. Something you are comfortable in. Jeans, a nice shirt and shoes would be fine. No short pants, slippers, and ratty t-shirts. If you want to wear shorts, wear them with a shirt (with collar) and shoes instead. Hair should be presentable, facial hairs trimmed and tidy, no bad breath or body odour. Use cologn...
